Abstract:The number of top genes associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has risen from 65 to 102, based on an analysis of more than 35,000 sequences published in the journal Cell.Researchers are also seeing the first hints of autism risk variants in the regions between genes. The analysis is based on sequences of exomes-the protein-coding regions of genomes-pulled from multiple datasets. A 2015 study of 15,000 sequences pinpointed 65 genes with strong ties to autism. The new findings of 102 genes are based on 3… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
